Braised Pork Chops with Prunes and Apricots -

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a non-stick skillet heat the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides and in it brown the pork chops, patted dry and seasoned with salt and black pepper. Add the broth and the vinegar, bring the liquid to a boil, and transfer the mixture to a baking dish just large enough to hold the chops in one layer. Sprinkle the chops with the bell peppers. Bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch mixture in the cooking juices and bake an additional 10 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes.
